Cubs (Rea) vs Twins (Paddack): 7/10/25, 12:10pm

[Patzky]

Jeffers has been spot on of late. Good start 

[BrokenCompass]

Jeffers is on fire. 

[Mortimerkenny21]

Let's get a rally going, nice double Jeffers!

 

[LakesPibble]

We have a decent number of slightly above average hitters but aside from Buck no great hitters.  And more than a few terrible hitters.

Love to see it. 8-11 with his double today, including 3 XBH. Hope this is a trend.

Two on none out. 

[Mortimerkenny21]

Good, making Rea pitch since he didn't even get warmed up the first inning!

[Patzky]

Be patient guys.. Rea.is struggling 

[Patzky]

Eh the April C4.

[BrokenCompass]

Correa not exactly going 100% down the line there. I don't think he beats it if he's running full speed, but fans would appreciate it if he tried I think. 

[Patzky]

Fell apart quickly..

[Mortimerkenny21]

Rally killed...uhhh!

[BrokenCompass]

C4 really needs to do a 180 here - pronto. 

[Chris Hove]

Man, what a promising inning, then fell apart. It would have been fun to see Lewis hit with men on.

I made this observation before the game started about Juan Soto doing the same thing earlier today, except Holliday booted the ball on the transition and still almost threw Soto out.  Must be something about making over $30M+ a year just weighs you down so you can't move as fast.

Not many SS make that play, give Swanson some credit...

[Chris Hove]

Well, we need to get going now. Damn.

[Patzky]

Guess the two outta three thing isn't so bad..

I was just thinking we have done a great job of shutting down their best hitter.

 

My bad.

[Peter]

Not going to lose it but-got series win-sweep Pittsburgh and be 48-48 at all star break

Fully agree that Swanson made a good play recovering to start the DP.  Also can agree that if Correa moved faster than a John Deere Model A at a tractor pull, that he may have actually beat out the double play.

Correa showed  zero in that D.P. - 1ST pitch he had only HIMSELF to think about , all we hear about is Team this Team that-  wish the Twins could do  a D.J. Lemaihu like the Yanks did, Hope im wrong but its looking like Carlos best days are long gone  Be fortunate we got 2 wins against these guys ,   Gotta start making this pitcher work 

[mnfireman]

Was kind of worried about today, the Cubbies were 10-62 (.161) with Turner's HR as the only XBH in the first two games...

[Patzky]

Cmon Willi!

That's who he is, we can't change that.

I'm not a big metrics guy, but the ball had an exit velo of 101.5 and an xBA of.540

Sometimes it just ain't your day.

[Patzky]

Bats are noisy but not translating well. Maybe it'll change but meanwhile Paddack has to hold them.

This is why I would like to see one of Wallner, Larnach, or Lewis move to 1B in the offseason.  I just see Correa becoming a more permanent DH and turning into Javier Baez prior to his resurgence this year.  You have Lee or Keaschall for SS in the near future.
